Ms Swati is the chairperson of Delhi Commision for Women. After completing her graduation, she decided to take the road less travelled and left the job at a major technology giant and started to work for basic rights and safety for women and children. Being a social activist, she had organised campaigns regarding RTI relating to women issues, worked with Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF), Parivartan NGO and campaigned for Greenpeace India.
